My Thoughts: when the mood strikes.

         Good day!  I trust everyone had a Happy Easter.  It's tough to get back to the grindstone after the holidays. 

         I attended a wedding Saturday afternoon.  It was beautifully located behind a church, on the water (Pinellas Point South, St. Petersburg).  A pair of crows were softly cawing, flying through the trees and a gentle breeze blew the palms overhead, keeping us refreshed.  As the guests faced the gulf, we saw a fishing boat floating about a mile offshore and a pair of pelicans soaring in unison against a distant sky.  A guitarist sang mellow love songs while chatting guests sat in rows of white chairs, in eager anticipation.  There was a beautiful white arbor over the pulpit.  A man dressed in full Scottish attire began playing a wistful tune on bagpipes, while briskly walking down the aisle just before the bride and her parents.  My boss, the father-of-the-bride, officiated.  Throughout the ceremony the tears began to well, never bursting forth.  Goose-bumps tickled my skin as I watched the tender, most intimate sharing of vows.

         Have a great week.  Spring is definitely in the air.  =)
